MP Dorries hits out at ‘arrogant posh boys’ Cameron and Osborne

Ms Dorries, whose constituency includes Toddington and Harlington, described the pair as having “no passion to want to understand the lives of others” on the BBC’s Daily Politics show today.

The Conservative’s comments sparked something of a social networking stir as Ms Dorries was trending on Twitter.

When asked whether she still thought the pair were “two posh boys who don’t know the price of milk”, following a couple of public clashes with the PM, Ms Dorries replied: “There is a very tight, narrow clique of a certain group of people and what they do is they act as a barrier and prevent Cameron and Osborne and others from really understanding and knowing what is happening in the rest of the country.

“Unfortunately, I think that not only are Cameron and Osborne two posh boys who don’t know the price of milk, but they are two arrogant posh boys who show no remorse, no contrition, and no passion to want to understand the lives of others - and that is their real crime.”

Mr Cameron described Ms Dorries as “frustrated” during an exchange at Prime Ministers Questions last year prompting much mirth among MPs, a comment he later apologised for.

Earlier this year, Ms Dorries told a national newspaper that the government was “being run by two public school boys who don’t know what it’s like to go to the supermarket and have to put things back on the shelves because they can’t afford it for their children’s lunch boxes”, comments later described by Mr Cameron as “nonsense”.
